I have done lots of reading on the site but have not found much about Progen chips. I really would like to upgrade my chips from my cheap dice to either Progens or NExgen lucky bees. Unfortunately my budget does not allow me to splurge too much on chips, and all my games are fun games at my house. So these are probably the best next step for me.

Personally I find the Progens visibly appealing, but I am a bit concerned as there is not much written about them! I do wish to customize my new chips with some good lables! Can anyone give me some feedback on the PROGENS and compare them the the NEXGENS? I would really appreciate it!
I am looking at buying around 600-700 chips so I want to do this right!

My personal opinion of the Progens - they suck! They feel like hard rubber, they break rather easily and they smell horrible. I know others may disagree, and I respect that, but imho - stay away. Your $$ is much better spent on some of the other "cheaper" chips suggested in other posts. Nexgens are excellent if you don't mind a heavier chips and I hear Sopranos and Faux Clays are great too. I would be more than happy to send you some Progen samples for free to help in your decision. PM your address and I'll have them in the mail to you this weekend (I'm away for a few days).
